Stuart Broad Attitude Appreciation Thread

I find Broad really hard to like. He is annoying, acts like a diva and is a shameless and unapologetic cheat. Yet, for some reason I cannot bring myself to truly hate the guy. He is being booed, jeered and taunted by every Aussie and even some Englishmen(not during the Ashes of course)! But instead of crumbling to pieces, he has raised his game. His career stats are decent for a bowling all-rounder though his batting has dropped off alarmingly. Whenever there is a situation where you need something special, Barbie always turns up. So while I may not like him, I admire and even respect his mental strength. Go on Barbie! If you keep going like this, who knows I might even become a genuine fan of yours?
